You’ll Never Look at BATs the Same Way Again

May 23, 2014

BATs floating 1,000 feet above the earth could hold the secret to providing cheap, quickly installed power to off-grid consumers or disaster-stricken areas.

The BAT, short for “Buoyant Air Turbine,” is essentially a wind turbine in the sky. Developers across the country and around the world are testing various methods of sending these lightweight, high-altitude turbines aloft, using blimps, winged aircraft, and cylindrical balloons to reach sweet-spot heights where operators can harvest the most wind with the least resistance.

Why Renewables are the Way Forward for Africa

Jasandra Nyker Biotherm Energy
May 15, 2014
If you take a solar map and a wind map and compare the African continent to other continents, you’ll see we have some of the best resources in the world. The solar resource in the Northern Cape of South Africa is 25 percent higher than that of Spain, and Spain is considered to be a world class site.
Renewable energy can bring enormous socio-economic benefits and be a ticket out of poverty for many Africans. As much as one needs roads, one needs power. And to get it from a renewable energy source means you are creating a sustainable electrical solution that will also power jobs.
